Sergio Armaroli: Introducing A Very Heavy Person, First Visit
by Neri Pollastri
Sulla scorta del suo amore e dei suoi studi su John Cage, Sergio Armaroli raccoglie attorno a sé un quintetto di straordinari musicisti per ricreare (non sapremmo in quale altro modo definire questa che è ben più di una rilettura) uno spettacolo radiofonico che il visionario musicista statunitense mandò in onda il 31 maggio 1942, musicando il radiodramma di Kenneth Patchen The City Wears a Slouch Hat. All'epoca Cage illustrò le scene del radiodramma --una serie di incontri ...

by John Sharpe
After a long hiatus, reedman Larry Stabbins' renewed presence on the British scene offers cause for celebration. All the more so as Sarost, one of his prime contemporary outlets, matches him with partners of equal standing. Flanking him in a co-operative trio--whose name, derived from the first two letters of their constituent surnames, affirms the group's egalitarian ethos--reside drummer Mark Sanders and bassist Paul Rogers. Four studio cuts unfold a spacious dialogue built on sensitive listening and instrumental virtuosity, whether ...

by John Sharpe
Scrubbed piano strings, malleted drums and a tenor saxophone testing the air may not conjure the usual Sunday-afternoon reverie, yet that is how the trio Shifa ignited its early-2023 matinee at north London's Café Oto. Ecliptic, the group's third document following Live at Café Oto (577 Records, 2019) and Live in Oslo (577 Records, 2020), captures pianist Pat Thomas, saxophonist Rachel Musson, and drummer Mark Sanders in the sort of unpremeditated council that has made them pillars of the UK ...

by John Sharpe
Much improvised music may be ephemeral, but Here Today Gone Tomorrow, captures British saxophonist Paul Dunmall's long-standing quartet at a peak of collective lucidity. Featuring pianist Liam Noble, bassist John Edwards and drummer Mark Sanders, the ensemble works through three slabs of unapologetic free jazz that display the rare assurance of a band that has put in its time together. Over the years they have honed such rapport that, in a feature which distinguishes ...

by Ieva Pakalniškytė
Arkady Gotesman occupies a singular position in Lithuanian music scene, having performed across more than fifty international festivals and concerts as a percussionist, composer and interdisciplinary artist whose work spans jazz, contemporary classical repertoire, free improvisation, theatre, literature and film. Over four decades he has collaborated with an exceptional range of musicians--from Vyacheslav Ganelin, Petras Vysniauskas, Liudas Mockūnas, Anthony Coleman and Mats Gustafsson to Nate Wooley, Charles Gayle, Barry Guy and Dave Douglas, among many others--while also premiering works by Anatolijus Šenderovas, Osvaldas Balakauskas, ...

by Mark Corroto
In 2025, amid global unrest and political fracture, the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom can feel like a distant dream, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s “I Have a Dream" speech like a myth from a gentler past. Has social media, with all its noise and manipulations, induced a kind of societal amnesia? Has King's “arc of the moral universe" begun to bend backward under the weight of cynicism and fatigue? If your glass is half empty, ...
Continue ReadingShifa شفاء - Rachel Musson, Pat Thomas, Mark Sanders: Ecliptic
by Mark Corroto
Some books are divided into chapters--numbered, titled, and carefully structured. The musical equivalent is the tracklist: segmented, labeled pieces presented in order. But Ecliptic by the trio Shifa (شفاء, Arabic for “healing") rejects that format entirely. This 46-minute set of improvised music by saxophonist Rachel Musson, pianist Pat Thomas and drummer Mark Sanders unfolds without titles, track divisions, or breaks. It is a single, uninterrupted performance recorded live at London's Café OTO in February 2023. Like their previous ...
